Insomnia

I AM LOST
IN A PLAYGROUND OF CHILDREN
I AM ANCHORED HERE
BY THIS LONGING
IT'S CARRIED ME
INTO THE NIGHT
AMONG THESE WARRIORS
OF PAIN
AN ENDLESS NIGHT OF WONDER
UNFAMILIAITY
IT BRINGS THE STARS CLOSER
WHEN I LOOK AT YOU
HERE
SILENCE HOVERS
IN THE HEAVY AIR
I BREATHE IN GASPS
WORDS SPILL OUT MY FINGERS
AND COLLECT ON THE PAGE
I FREE THEM
FROM THE PRISON
OF MY MIND.
